The Lendale White Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award: Week 16

Pro Football Talk



Please, reader(s) of POFD, forgive me.  I've been in deep mourning over the death of Tai from Clueless, so I'm a couple days late on the Lendale White Fanstasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award. 

It's been a rough patch for yours truly, but I think I'll persevere.

In honor of Tai, we'll present this weekly award while rollin' with the homies...

Wry on the Rocks with No Ice: the POFD Inbox

Every week, our inbox is figuratively  and literally flooded (our computers have bad plumbing) with thousands upon thousands of emails from our countless fans. We feel obligated to answer at least 5 lucky fans' (out of thousands, possibly billions, mind you) emails each week. It is our mailbag, of sorts, except nobody has used actual mail since 1997, so we call it our inbox. Unlike every other mailbag ever, though, it will not be vain and self-serving. So, every Wednesday one of us will sit down with a glass of rye (a lovely chianti, this evening) and show the fans we care by responding with half-assed, wry attempts at humor. Send us your emails and questions at our fancy new email account: puntingonfirstdown@gmail.com.

That Makes Me a Sad Cutler: Adventures in Majestic Pigskin Fuck-ups

Each Monday, in honor of Jay Cutler, master of the team-crippling interception, Punting on First Down chronicles football players fucking up so badly, that you can blame them single-handedly for their team's loss. Exaggerations and hyperbole abound.

This week, we have a very special (sort of) winner--a non-football winner. The dubious semi-honor goes to something that once again demonstrated the epic fail of Cutler. Comcast once again showed they have little to no regard for their customer's satisfaction.

(Sunday Edition of ) Dick Johnson's Saturday Six: The Least Inventive Scuttlebutt in All of Sports

When Dick Johnson isn't penetrating deeply into the NFL's most taciturn stories, he is working the phone, talking to sources, and uncovering yet-to-be released stories--the stories Adam Schefter has wet dreams about uncovering. We don't even call them rumors, because we know Dick Johnson is that good. If you wanted to hear it first, you've come to the right place.

A Tip of the Cap to Our Predecessors

This is going to be the first time that POFD has picked apart a national columnist's story for the sake of pure enjoyment. 

We understand deadlines.  We understand sensationalism.  We understand that columnist's have to sometimes go against the grain simply to sell papers (do papers still sell anymore?), but this latest gem from Mike Celizic cannot go unnoticed. 

And here we go...

The Lendale White Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award: Week 15

Pro Football Talk




And a good day to you all as we stand on the brink of your fantasy team's respective championships, I can only hope that your squad of make-believe has gotten you to a point where you still care what the fuck happens in a game between the Browns and the Chiefs.

But if your team was finally bounced from contention by Aaron Rodgers four-TD performance or Ben Roealkthaljsgalkjsdasf, or however the fuck you spell his name, wiping up his drool and throwing that last second TD, we here at POFD extend our sincerest condolences.  No, really.  Here...have a 40.





This one's on the house.

This week's Fantasy Party Man literally burst onto the party scene this past Sunday.  The man behind the one of the greatest single-game rushing performances in history takes home the honor this week.  And that man is....

Each Monday, in honor of Jay Cutler, master of the team-crippling interception, Punting on First Down chronicles football players fucking up so badly, that you can blame them single-handedly for their team's loss. Exaggerations and hyperbole abound.

This week provided myriad candidates (Chiefs rush D, the Seahawks entire team, Mark Sanchez, the Broncos D in the 4th quarter, Adrian Peterson), but no one truly separated from the entire pack like the man, the myth, the legend... Jay Cutler himself.

First Church of Football: A Semi-Live Webbed Logging of the Lord's Sport

Punting on First Down presents a sort of live web log of the NFL action on most Sundays. At least the ones on which I have internet access and I don't have to work. So probably not every week but from time to time.

Little late to Sunday Night Favre. Lot of questions to answer in this game. Can the Panthers find a new QB to Favre them? Can Favre Favre some Favre? Can the Favre's defense Favre the Panthers rushing Favrefense? Favre? We'll have to tune in to find out.

Straight From the Jacket Predictions: Week 15





Time is ticking down on the 2009 season of the Lord's Sport, people.  If you're like me, you're knee-deep in the fantasy playoffs, cursing the name of Pierre Garcon for getting you one goddamn fantasy point after notching double digits in four of the last six weeks. 

Ass.

But if the fantasy game ain't your thing and the real deal is what you crave, then you, my friend, have come to the right place. 

Here are your ice-box, lead-pipe, lock-down, guaranteed predictions for Week 15...

Who's The Wider Receiver: The Softer Sides of Lovers Chad Ocho Cinco and Terrell Owens.


POFD is proud to present the fascinating love stories of Chad Ocho Cinco and Terrell Owens.  In the off-season, the two lovers share a one-bedroom studio apartment in a very liberal minded neighborhood.  Although they wanted to keep it a secret we have exclusive footage of the amazing adventures that took place.  They may be different in many respects, but share one heart for each other.  With the love they share they are able to pull through all the wacky shenanigans and missteps that took place in their exciting off-season life together.

This week on Who’s the Wider Receiver- T.O. and Chad are having some financial issues.  To keep them afloat they need to think of a way to make some money.

The Lendale White Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award: Week 14

Pro Football Talk




Well folks, I'm back.  I know you all missed me.  It's obvious from the outpouring of anger in your emails toward Mr. Peterson.  I believe they all went something like this: 

From reader TheRealChefBoyardee:

           Holy mozzarella, how-a dare you-a criticize Mr. Masterson-a per liking-a Chef-a Boyardee!  I'll put my spicy meat-a-balls in your fazuls, capisce?

Apparently, Mr. Peterson's fan base does not lie in the Old Country...

With that being said, it's time for the Lendale White Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award.  Now, I understand that Chris Johnson should earn it this week, I really do.  He earned the most points (35), and basically single-handedly beat the everloving shit out of the Rams (yes, that still counts.) 

But 1)  Johnson has already won said award.  Nobody needs to win it twice....unless you're the Douche.  and 2) I'm pulling the Homer card this week and handing the Lendale White Fantasy Party Man to.....

Though Randy Moss clearly deserves this, his team unfortunately won, which is sort of a disqualification. That leaves us with the Steel Curtainous Wall (made from 100% wet tissues)-- the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line.

First Church of Football: A Semi-Live Webbed Logging of the Lord's Sport





Punting on First Down presents a sort-of live weblog of NFL Sunday Night Football.  At least enough to poke fun at Cris Collinsworth's eternal smug-ness and Al Michaels' pristine football omnipotence.











Unstoppable?  Andy Reid's LDL cholesterol is.  His heart, however, is undeniably stoppable, especially with three more years of cheesesteaks on his docket. 

Jesus Talks 1:2

When he's not performing resurrections, magic, turning water into wine at 9th grade parent's basement parties, and moving Ouija planchettes, Punting on First Down asks Mr. Jesus Christ to take time out of his busy schedule to let us all know what he thinks about recent NFL stories. Though we asked for parables and aphorisms, Jesus, powerful as he is, decided rambling diatribes would suffice. Here are his teachings...

Straight From the Jacket Predictions: Week 14






So, sitting here in a cafe in Boston, I've already had six guys named Sully tell me that my Broncos sweater made me look "like a fackin' homo" and that "Tawm Brady would Cahlton Fisk the Broncos with a Loueezville fackin' Sluggah." 

After I figured out they were speaking English and trash-talking me at the same time, I calmly got up and left, but not before pointing to the scoreboard and giving them a real Mile High Salute. 

Fackin' Sawx suck.

On that note, here are your (albeit abbreviated) lead-pipe, Bloodsport, guaranteed locks for Week 14 in the Lord's Sport...

The Lendale White Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award: Week 13

Hello, there. It's Anthony with your fantasy awards. Will Smith! Ravioli rocks! Go Azzurri! Ohio State rules when they aren't losing to shitty unranked teams! Just kidding. It's Eric. Pretty good impression though, huh? Well, Antonio Sabato Masterson Jr. informed me of the picks this week, so I guess I shall present them to you. Begrudgingly. Because I disagree with them. But, nonetheless, 'tis his column and I must honor his choices. Chiggity check the picks before you riggity riggity wreck yourself.

That Makes Me a Sad Cutler: Adventures in Majestic Pigskin Fuck-ups

Each Monday, in honor of Jay Cutler, master of the team-crippling interception, Punting on First Down chronicles football players fucking up so badly, that you can blame them single-handedly for their team's loss. Exaggerations and hyperbole abound.

There are so many candidates this week. I don't know where to begin. There are the Titans pass-dropping wideouts, the Chiefs cadre of Cassel the Interceptor and His Pass-dropping Extraordinaires, the Steelers Joe Burnett who dropped a gift interception that would have ended the game, Marion Barber who fumbled his way into giving the Giants the win, Josh Freeman the thrower of five picks in one game, the entire Falcons team except Roddy White. These are all deserving candidates. But nobody exemplified the epic fail of Cutler like the team that defines failure these days in the NFL. That's right. It's the second richest team in the NFL, the third most valuable sports franchise in the entire world, the team with one of the biggest fanbases in the NFL, and one of the WORST teams in the sport. Ladies and gentlemen, from the wonderfully expensive losers you know and love as the Washington Redskins, with one of the saddest fuck-ups of the entire year, I present Mr. Shaun Suisham.

The Lendale White Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award: Week 12

Pro Football Talk

It's Tuesday, folks and you know what that means.  No, not just Topless Tuesday down at your local Buca di Beppo's, it means you either extended a hefty fantasy winning streak (thank you, Ray Rice) or saw your playoff hopes go up in flames faster than Tiger Woods' image as a media darling. 

Never fear, my child.  Here is your opportunity to relive the Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week right here on POFD.  And don't be afraid to leave your own beautiful and/or horrific fantasy stories in the comments.  I know our bandwidth has been battle tested with all the views we've gotten on the site, but take a number and your turn will eventually come to be. 

Without further ado, here are Week 12's Fantasy Heroes and Cons...

I Can’t Come Into Work This Season: I Got a Bad Case of the Redskins Offensive Line.

As diagnosed by Dr. Anthony Masterson it seems that a new disease has struck the nation’s capital.  Numerous Redskins players have come down with what is now being recognized as having Redskins Offensive Line (ROL).  In extreme cases the symptoms of which could be fatal.  It seems so far that players are suffering from only minor cases of ROL leaving them incapacitated for the rest of the 2009-2010 season.  However, if remained untreated much more serious cases could arise in the near future.   Requested by Redskins owner Dan Snyder, President Obama has asked every scientist in the D.C. metropolitan area to help manage the issue before it gets any worse.
